I'd not remove the info message, it would print the memory block size regardless 
of memory size. Yes, one could decode the 'no message' case as 'the kernel used 
the default value' - but that's very version dependent and obscure in any case. 
Please keep the debug message in both code paths, like the original code had it.

But, on a second thought, I'd definitely harmonize the messages, instead of:

>  		pr_info("Using 2GB memory block size for large-memory system\n");
> 	printk(KERN_DEBUG "memory block size : %ldMB\n", bz >> 20);

I'd print:

>  		pr_info("x86/mm: Memory block size: 2GB, large-memory system\n");
> 	pr_info("x86/mm: Memory block size: %ldMB\n", bz >> 20);

Also note how I changed both printouts to pr_info(), so that we have the memory 
block size information printed unconditionally.

(And btw., doing this printout means that we should keep the 'bz' local variable.)

Thanks,
